#1 Yesterday I read where New Year's Eve fireworks (a popular New Orleans celebration method) sales are way down this year on account of the economy. And those things have got to be cheaper than 25-mile rockets. That must mean the Paleostinian economy is a lot better than New Orleans. And thus they clearly don't need international humanitarian aid any more.

Heh, *everything* is made in China these days. Try going one month without buying anything made in China.
